Paris, je t'aime
Stories of Love. From the City of Love.
In Paris, je t'aime, celebrated directors from around the world have come together to portray Paris in a way never before imaginied. Made by a team of contributors as cosmopolitan as the city itself, this portrait of the city is as diverse as its creators' backgrounds and nationalities. With each director telling the story of an unusual encounter in one of the city's neighbourhoods, the vignettes go beyond the 'postcard' view of Paris to portray aspects of the city rarely seen on the big screen. Racial tensions stand next to paranoid visions of the city seen from the perspective of an American tourist. A young foreign worker moves from her own domestic situation into her employer's bourgeois environs. An American starlet finds escape as she is shooting a movie. A man is torn between his wife and his lover. A young man working in a print shop sees and desires another young man. A father grapples with his complex relationship with his daughter. A couple tries to add spice to their sex life.

I watched this rich compilation of shorts 5 times. Each short is a pure cinematic gem. The philosophies and sensibilities of each director radiate with the backdrops of different quarters of Paris. It would be interesting this compilation of shorts with the one created on Tokyo that includes the work of Michel Gondry.J' tadore - Pumon
I loved this movie. It tells the storyof many different happenings in Paris, all of which interconnect in different way. The stories are fun, not have let to many different spin off such as New york I Love you..but they dont even come close to thisj'aime - beth_campdirector
Also noticed the zip.ca error on the sleeve, says it's 155 minutes long...so I turned it off thinking I was about halfway through, then turned it back on to watch only one or two shorts before the film ended...whoops.
Paris, Je T'aime is a series of shorts all directly related to an area in Paris, I believe. What I really liked about this movie, was that the shorts weren't all about love in Paris, but just about people who happen to be in Paris, and what their story is. The stories take you from all different walks of life in different scenarios, sickness, love, death, divorce, happiness, sadness...all while being in the beautiful city of Paris.
If you liked this style movie, I would also recommend watching New York, I Love You as a follow up.
